Question:

Pressure inside two soap bubbles are 1.01 and 1.02 atmosphere, respectively. The ratio of their volumes is :

Show Hint

Excess pressure in a soap bubble is \(4T/r\); the excess over 1 atm is 0.01 and 0.02 atm.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Atmospheric pressure is 1 atm, so excess pressures are \(\Delta P_1 = 0.01\) atm and \(\Delta P_2 = 0.02\) atm.
For a soap bubble \(\Delta P = 4T/r\), so \(r\propto 1/\Delta P\): \(r_1/r_2 = \Delta P_2/\Delta P_1 = 2\).
Volume \(V\propto r^3\): \(V_1/V_2 = 2^3 = 8\).
Ratio of volumes \(= 8:1\).
Answer: (2) 8 : 1
